Chapter 26

"His name's Anton, Anton Lee. He's pretty famous, you ever heard of him?"

"Oh...him..yea.. I have..." I hesitated.
"You sound annoyed by him. Do you guys... perhaps..have some beef going on?"
"Soo... he's kinda my ex..."
"Your ex? That man managed to get a girl? Wow. And here I thought he'd die single..."

"But trust me that bastard was shit. He's like asking your mom permission to go out. You do everything she asks and she still doesn't let you go out, and like has the most shit excuses ever!" I ranted.
"I'm pretty sure you dumped his ass didn't you?"
I sigh, "that's not the case here, unfortunately..."

"Take no offense..but...how did you guys break up? If you don't mind me asking-"
"No problem girl, chill. The bitch left me, at like what, the end of tenth grade? Like he didn't even tell me before! No prior notice no nothing!"
"Oh...he didn't seem like that type of a guy to me...".

"Trust me, I thought the same. Anyways can we please not talk about him anymore? He makes me wanna barf."
"Sure babe, what's your insta?
"Choochoo underscore song. It's amazing right?" I did a dramatic hair flip.

"I sent you a request, check your phone." She said as I took out my phone from the depths of my bag, opening Instagram to see a user 'lifeaintgoingon..' sent me a request. "Life ain't going on two dots at the end?"
"Bingo." She ensured, and I accepted it and put my phone back into my purse. I felt happy. I finally got a new friend.
"So...are you into kdramas?"
"Oh we've got one heck of a conversation infront of us..."

After a few hours and some stoppages along the road, we finally reached out destination, Jeju island.

By the time we got there, it was already the evening, the sun had set down just a while ago.

There were students incharge of this and that, who were handing out one stick of marshmallows that contained 5 marshmallows each stick and they instructed us to go stand around one of the six giantass campfires, both to warm our hands and to roast our marshmallows if we wanted, which I did. To me, marshmallows were inadible without roasting. And that was also where me and Elysia got split since she was told to go to the 4th and was told to stand near the 5th campfire. "See ya later, and if you need to find me, you know my number!" She screamed from the middle of the already forming crowd.

I then moved to the 5th one. I knew that I couldn't take too much time there, as the growing crowd would get bigger and more airless, something that might trigger my anxiety, or my asthma problems.

I then stood there, with the stick of marshmallows in my hand, waiting for them to get toasted well. My hand brushed against the person next to me multiple times, to which I uttered a little 'sorry'. They didn't answer, with me picking up the urge to look at the person standing next to me. I glanced at him quickly then turned my head around, but turned it back to him again when I realized who it was.

"What the- how the fvck- how are you always everywhere?" I spat infront of his face.
"We're soulmates I guess." He smiled
"Ew no-" I turned him down, but he just laughed it off.

I casually sighed and broke eye contact, getting back to my business. But much before I was done with my marshmallows, I got forcefully pushed out the crowd by some jerk and just somehow managed to balance on my feet. I froze, annoyance taking over as I just wanted to go forward and give that bastard a piece of my mind, but I held back. But nevertheless, now I was stuck with inedible marshmallows.

But not even that lasted for long. Just after that incident, another hand reached out of the crowd and softly grabbed my stick of marshmallows when I wasn't looking and I didn't even notice it happening. And here I was, looking around like a lost puppy, feeling like a begger. Now could this day get any worse?

I then went ahead and sat on one of the many wooden benches near the campfires, regretting every single one of my life decisions.

"Here." I heard a male voice which I recognized as the bastard's one say.

"What do you want-"
"Here, that's your stick right?" He held out and tilted for me to take one of the two sticks of the two roasted marshmallows in his hand, the very one that had gotten stolen from me a while ago.

I was kinda confused at first, but then it all hit me.
"Oh so you're the marshmallow theif!" I screamed with my mouth wide open.
"Theif?" he furrowed his eyebrows.
"What else would you prefer on calling yourself? You literally stole my stick didn't you?"
"I didn't steal it honey, I took it roast it for you because we both know how pale those little shits looked before I did. And yea, I remember that you can't eat pale marshmallows."
